Li Xiaoliang asked curiously, "Brother Huai, I visited their workshop and saw they have a complete range of production machines and testing equipment. They must be financially strong. There are actually many similar suppliers in Nanzhong and Nanyou. Why don't you compare prices with a few? Why must you go with Mingdan? A single supplier has significant limitations, such as price, delivery time, quality, and cooperation. Only by comparing can you see the difference."
Gao Huai said calmly, "This is a transaction specified by the client. Don't ask so many questions. Just do whatever I tell you to do. As long as this transaction can be completed successfully, I will give you a bonus of 100,000 yuan. You can then use this money, plus your previous savings, to buy a house in the county town."
"Oh, okay, Brother Huai, I'll follow your arrangements."
Although he was a little skeptical about this mysterious transaction, thinking of the 100,000 yuan bonus that was about to come, Li Xiaoliang had to put aside his doubts and obey Gao Huai's arrangements wholeheartedly. They were relatives, and he believed that his cousin would never harm him.
Three days later, Simingda sent the detailed quotation to Li Xiaoliang as promised. He wrote on WeChat: "Mr. Li, this is our most favorable quotation. Please review it. If you accept the price and terms, please send it back as soon as possible. Thank you!"
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Si. I'll confirm it with the overseas client as soon as possible. I'll send it to you once I receive his reply."
"Okay, I'll wait for your reply."
Li Xiaoliang sent the price list to Gao Huai: "Brother Huai, Mingdan Company's price list has been sent over. Take a look first. If you accept it, I will ask them to make a sample."
"Let me take a look first."
Gao Huai compared the price quoted by Simingda with similar products on the market and found that his price was about 0.5%-1% lower than similar products on the market. It can be seen that Simingda is indeed sincere in wanting to take this order. Gao Huai couldn't help but feel a little bit sorry. They sincerely wanted to do business, but he had ulterior motives and wanted to harm them. Isn't this too unkind of a person?
On second thought, the humiliation of being slapped in public by Simingda and the series of misfortunes he had suffered over the years were all caused by lack of money. If he wanted to make a lot of money in a short period of time and regain his lost dignity in front of relatives and friends, he had to go through with this dishonest deal. He didn't want to live this poor life with his wife and children separated from him anymore. If he wanted to live the life of a rich kid again, he had to find opportunities to make a lot of money. Simingda had a grudge against him in the past, so he wouldn't feel too guilty about going after him.
A man cannot become rich without unexpected wealth, and a horse cannot become fat without wild grass. Getting Simingda's money can alleviate the guilt in his heart. Thinking of this, Gao Huai began to feel relieved.
Li Xiaoliang continued to report to Gao Huai, "Wang Mudan said that before signing the contract, they need to meet with the foreign boss. As you requested, I didn't mention your name. I told them that the boss is a foreigner and the boss's wife is from mainland China, but she doesn't care about anything. If we want to have a meeting, it can only be done via video link. They all agreed. Please decide how to arrange this video conference. Simingda is waiting for my reply."
"Oh, a meeting with foreign guests?"
"Yes."
It seems that Wang Mudan is still as shrewd and smooth as before. She is still not at ease about the deal without meeting with the boss. Gao Huai knows very well that he cannot show up no matter what. If he wants to successfully win Wang Mudan's trust, he cannot shirk this video conference.
He thought about it and decided that the only way was to contact Rick and ask him to come out and hold a meeting with Si Mingda and Wang Mudan. However, if he wanted to avoid revealing any flaws during the meeting, he had to come up with a foolproof plan.
Li Xiaoliang continued, "Si Mingda said he would arrange for a foreign trade representative to serve as an interpreter. What are your plans? Do you want me to join?"
"You don't need to attend the video conference. I and the foreign guests can attend. Once we confirm the time, you can notify Simingda and Wang Mudan. In short, you must remember not to mention my name in front of them."
Gao Huai had something to hide, and was always worried that Li Xiaoliang would make a slip of the tongue and tell his name to Si Mingda and Wang Mudan, causing his plan to fail.
"Brother Huai, I know. I won't mention your name. He asked how many people there were in our company. I said three: a clerk and someone in charge of shipping. They didn't ask any further questions."
"Okay, got it."
Gao Huai knew very well that Wang Mudan's proposal to hold a video conference showed that she still had doubts about the transaction. In order to dispel her doubts, he had to ask Rick to attend the video conference. However, Rick did not know the authenticity of the purchase contract. In order to avoid being exposed during the communication process, he had to come up with a foolproof plan.
How should he explain the details of the meeting to Rick? Gao Huai was in a dilemma.
After thinking for a long time, Gao Huai sent an email to Rick, detailing his request for him to attend the video conference convened by the supplier:
Dear Rick,
According to the last time I was in Country G, I discussed with you about setting up a branch. The initial funds have been transferred. Please arrange to complete the registration as soon as possible. Once the company information and bank account are processed, we can enter the procurement stage.
Regarding the supply issue, I have already discussed it with the supplier. In order to verify the authenticity of this transaction, they require to meet with foreign customers. Since you are temporarily unable to come from Country G, we suggest holding a video conference online. What do you think?
I sincerely hope you can accept this invitation. Since I am the one who contacted the supplier and you are not familiar with them, I suggest you reply to them in the meeting as follows:
During the meeting, you tell them that you placed the order directly from abroad for this transaction, and you are the boss of our purchasing center. Xiao Li is responsible for this transaction in the mainland. During the meeting, you only need to mention Xiao Li's name to avoid too many people and communication errors. I will join the chat group, and you still need to come forward directly when communicating, and I will assist you.
